1Reliability

If current resource state distillation methods are used, then high fidelity resource states can be obtained, but the state overhead is high and the conversion efficiency is low

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of error suppression by implementing quadratic error suppression mechanisms in the distillation protocol. This involves modifying the distillation process to achieve second-order error scaling, where the output error rate scales quadratically with the input error rate, thereby improving fidelity while maintaining efficiency

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements adaptive distillation protocols that dynamically adjust the distillation process based on measured error rates and resource availability. The system can adaptively choose between different distillation rounds and resource allocation strategies to optimize both fidelity and conversion efficiency under varying conditions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes the error suppression parameter to achieve quadratic scaling, where output error rate ε_out ∝ ε_in². This parameter change allows achieving high fidelity outputs with fewer input states compared to linear error suppression methods, thereby reducing state overhead while maintaining high output fidelity

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces traditional linear error suppression mechanisms with quadratic error suppression protocols. This substitution fundamentally changes the error scaling behavior, allowing the system to achieve the same fidelity improvement with reduced resource consumption, thus lowering state overhead

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for generating at least one high fidelity resource state. A classical code and punctured to provide a first set of generators and a second set of generators. The first set of generators is mapped to a set of stabilizer generators, and the second set of generators is mapped to a set of logical operators. A set of resource states are prepared in physical qubits. A decoding process is performed on the resource states according to a quantum code represented by the set of stabilizer generators and the set of logical operators, and qubits corresponding to the stabilizers are measured.
